Default DDM Tuning = pit stains

Ive been waiting over 22 days for a pair of 3000k bulbs for my fogs. I just wanted to try something a little different and figured they were cheap enough if i didnt like them.

i have emailed them about 3 times and have only gotten one response which didn't tell me anything about how long it would take/stock/etc. the person who emailed me back also had a quote that something in the lines of "all good things will come in time." ill wait a while for horsepower freaks to drop a turbo in my M, but a little pair of bulbs?

in conclusion they get a crappy customer service review from me. should have just hit up matt at umnitza since hes treated me so well in the past but the cheap price of DDM kept me from doing that.

/rant and hopefully gives some insight to others who were looking for a cheap alternative

vvme.com is where I will continue to buy my inexpensive HID products... I bought a set for my E30 ellipsoids, worked flawless... put them in for my HID fogs... flawless... going to order an H7 set when I switch my ML55 old fashion xenons to the facelifted projector style, and going to order 3000k bulbs for my fogs from them too

is the facelifted style a direct bolt on?

I bought from them before but their shipping sucks I have to admit. They do deliver though. Good luck.
I have a feeling they dont stock parts and they wait to get a order in and then order the parts to ship just a thought.

I am thinking that as well. Pretty poor way of doing business if you ask me. Oh well lesson learned. Hopefully I can get my cash back

Woahhhh, $5 HID bulbs?? What's the catch? $100 shipping? Takes months to deliver? They sign you up for a pyramid marketing scheme?

If there's no catch, I'm going to change all my bulbs to 6000K
